Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam’s tuna export value increased 10 percent in the first eight months of the year to 309.8 millio♛n USD, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

Customs statistics showed exports of fresh/live/frozen tuna made up 180.7 million USD of total exports, up 9.5 percent over the same period last year, while exports of frozen tuna fillets and processed tuna were up 14.3 percent and 1 percent, respectively.
The exports went to 8 key markets, namely the US, EU, ASEAN, China, Israel, Japan, Canada and Mexico, occupying 88.2 percent of national tuna export value.
The association expects tuna exports will continue to increase in the final months of the year.
